There is an A sound and an O sound. They are different. I can't even imagine those two sounding the same, nor Awe and Ore or Or. I am beginning to think you are just joking.

Habitat Posted December 5, 2019 #21 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I am thinking you are the joker, you Google up those phonemes I have posted, and see what comes up differently, in your area. But for me, all four are pronounced the same. There was an Olympic Gold medal rowing combo called the "Awesome Foursome", it rhymed perfectly to the ears of Australians.

So you weren't joking, but in the U.S. those words do not rhyme. And young children who don't pronounce their R's get speech therapy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Words matching the pattern R* Ray, raw, rye, wry, row, rue I did not find a website with what you refer to Awe has a silent e and a short A sound. Or has a short O sound.

Habitat Posted December 5, 2019 #25 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Never mind about all that, just the precise word spelling and its phoneme will do, that is what I posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
